Dataset on the mechanical and physical characterization of the Ecuadorian bamboo culms belonging to "Caña Mansa" biotype.

This article presents a set of experimental data on the mechanical and physical properties of the Ecuadorian endemic bamboo species (), specifically the "Caña Mansa" biotype. The data on compressive, shear, tensile and bending strength, as well as the moisture content and density, were obtained by carrying out the corresponding tests following the ISO 22157:2019 standard. For this purpose, each bamboo culm examined was divided along its height into three sections that were thoroughly characterized.
